Effective herbal remedies for fatty liver

The liver has been described as a chemical workshop of the human body. All the nutrients and other substances absorbed from the intestines pass through the liver before entering into the systemic circulation. Thus the liver is vulnerable to the damage caused by a host of infections and toxic agents. Several types of viruses and alcohol are by far the commonest of these agents. The impairment of the liver function usually manifests as jaundice. Persistent infection and continuing impairment of function may be followed by death unless these changes can be controlled.

The morphological changes in liver damage can manifest as fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and cancer of the liver.

What is fatty liver?

Fatty liver is accumulation of fat in the liver cells. It is also called steatosis. Possible explanations of fatty liver include the transfer of fat from other parts of the body or an increase in the extraction of fat presented to the liver from the intestine. Other explanations are that the liver reduces the rate it breaks down and removes fat. Eating fatty foods does not by itself produce a fatty liver. The sluggish liver is one of the reasons for accumulation of fats in the liver cells.

Although this is not a normal condition, fat in the liver usually causes no damage by itself. This condition is usually reversible when the underlying causes are treated or removed. However, on some occasions it can be a sign that other more harmful conditions are at work. The liver may harden and, over time, liver cells may be replaced by scar tissue. This is called cirrhosis. The liver can't work right and one may develop liver failure liver cancer. So the treatment of fatty liver becomes necessary.

Latest researches say that a well planned dietary regimen is of utmost importance in the prevention and treatment of most hepatic disorders. It has been proved beyond doubt that some of the proteins derived from animals are responsible for producing persistent symptoms related to liver disease. Thus vegetarian diet has gained momentum in the treatment of hepatic disorders and many herbs are seen to benefit the liver function and improve the overall system of the patient suffering from liver disease.

More information on fatty liver disease

Very common foods which harm the liver function

Mostly alcohol consumption is the cause of fatty liver. The liver takes alcohol as a toxins and is not able to process is faster if the inflow is regular and in larger quantities. Try to quit alcohol altogether if you come to know that you have fatty liver. If you can't then decrease the dosage drastically. Do not consume artificial foods, packaged foods.

Also avoid sweeteners like:

Aspartame

Neotame

Acesulfame-K (Sunette, Sweet & Safe, Sweet One)

Cyclamates

Saccharin

Reduce the consumption of refined carbohydrates from sugar and bread, pastry, pasta, noodles, cakes, biscuits and desserts. Try to eat natural sweet fruits if you want to take something sweet. Melons, Grapes, Apples, Pears, Papaya, Sugarcane are all good for liver.

Avoid sugary processed foods and drinks

Avoid chicken and turkey as this alsocontains artificial growth hormones, antibiotics and steroids that increase the liver's workload.

Drink 1.5- 2 liters of water each day, if there is severe liver failure or cirrhosis of liver then the fluid intake must be under supervision of a medical practitioner.

FRIED POTATOES - VERY HARMFUL FOR LIVER

French fries and potato chips contain a toxin called acrylamide, a chemical used to produce plastics and dyes. Acrylamide causes DNA damage, which can result in reproductive damage and cancer. When starchy foods are heated to high temperatures, they spontaneously form acrylamide, even though none was present in the raw ingredients. Both American and European scientists agree that the foods with the highest levels of acrylamide include french fries and potato chips. Additionally, deep fried foods are high in liver-toxic lipid peroxides (rancid fats, which are immuno-suppressive and damage liver cell membranes) and trans-fatty acids (which suppress the production of PGE1, an important liver-protecting prostaglandin).
